Name: Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani Temperate Marsh Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This relatively widespread wetland occurs on pond and lake margins, and in backwater areas. It also occupies basins where the water table may remain relatively high, but which can drop below the soil surface late in the growing season. Elevations range from sea level in coastal areas to 2045 m (6700 feet) in the Rocky Mountains. Stands are flooded for most or all of the growing season. Stands can have water from 0 (exposed soil) to approximately 1.5 m deep, but usually are less than 1 m. Within a stand, water levels can vary by up to 1 m during the year. The water can be fresh to mildly saline. Soils are deep, poorly drained muck, peat, or mineral. This association is often a monotypic stand of <i>Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani</i>, but is also often mixed with one or two other <i>Schoenoplectus</i> species. This association is described as only those stands where <i>Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani</i> is the dominant bulrush. <i>Schoenoplectus acutus</i> may be present, but only in subdominant amounts. Other species are largely absent or present in limited amounts and include <i>Carex aquatilis, Carex buxbaumii, Carex utriculata, Eleocharis palustris, Nuphar polysepala, Polygonum</i> spp., <i>Potamogeton</i> spp., <i>Mentha arvensis</i>, and <i>Galium triflorum</i>. Adjacent deeper water sites are typically dominated by <i>Typha latifolia</i>, while drier sites support herbaceous communities dominated by <i>Carex</i> spp., <i>Poa pratensis</i>, or other grasses.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:31531-{54B1C7A2-0E91-4749-BB91-CCCB9D6F99A8} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 1
